What's the best way to switch between different control sche : V

I've tentatively got my wife interested in playing Skyrim. The hiccup is that I like to use a wacky control scheme (like inverted mouse, and something different than WASD, etc.), and I think it'd be best for her to use the default controls.

What's the best way to do that? I tried starting the game up under her own Windows user account, from within Steam using my account, and that made it so that she has her own saved games separate from mine. But the controls are still the same, and if she changes them while playing, I see those changes when I start the game in my account. My guess is this is because the changes are being saved using the Steam cloud feature, but that's just a guess.

I can think of two possible options:

Make it so that the controls are not saved to the Steam cloud, and are just stored locally per user.
Export our control schemes to a config file that's loaded via a command line option at startup.

Anyone have suggestions on implementing either of those options? Or have other ideas?
